        Meanwhile, the EPA decided yesterday they won't regulate factories or power plants as "major" contributors to air pollution. American cities are starting to suffer pollution levels on par with China. This will take decades we don't have to reverse.https://rantt.com/what-its-like-to-raise-a-child-in-the-second-most-toxic-city-in-america-66c57fa9e563 …

        We need to do more to protect the oceans which is the heart of our planet! Big business, conglomerates and industry are complicit in causing this problem and should be fined heavily for their acts to murder the planet! God bless this planet and protect it against us; humans!

        @Davos we must reduce the use of plastic. Ban single use plastic. Increase recycle. Force major corporations to change the way they are packaging goods

        NO reason we can’t move to max of 5 - 10 types of recyclable plastic vs the hundreds now used. Compostable “plastic” exists too.

        We need to find something that can break down the petroleum products pollutions. With how much harm nearly all these by products of oil create you would think breaking the addiction to them would be more urgent than it seems to be to our leaders. Its up to the People again.
